“…Some possible ways of reducing EMS response time are to pre-position ambulances at optimal location taking into consideration projected traveling times, hence traffic congestion, across different times of the day (Lam et al, 2013(Lam et al, , 2015, and the use of motorcyclebased first responders (Goh et al, 2014). The primary objective of motorcycle-based first responders is to reach the patient and provide high quality BLS care in anticipation of the arrival of ambulances for conveyance to acute care hospitals (Soares-Oliveira et al, 2007;Nakstad et al, 2009;Goh et al, 2014). Motorcyclebased first responders have been effectively implemented in Singapore (Goh et al, 2014).…”

“…(2007) reported that in 18% of cases related to motor ambulances, there was no need for transport. [26] The findings have shown that just 28% of patients are transported to hospitals by ambulances, whereas hospital transport by ambulances was between 54% and 74% in Turkey (2007–2009). [30] In the US, 70% of emergency phone calls led to hospital transportation.…”
